Formed in New York City by Australian brothers Isaac and Thorry Koren, The Kin’s sound is rooted in 90s Brit-pop. The brothers released their debut album, Tracing, in 2004, followed by Red and Black in 2005, Live at the Pussy Cat in 2006, and Rise and Fall in 2007.
Nirvana / Lounge Act
This song caps off one of my favourite pop albums of all time. The melody drives, builds and repeats until it explodes.

Based in Brooklyn’s Bed-Stuy neighborhood, Loop 2.4.3 has toured throughout North America, Europe, Scandinavia, South Korea, and Australia, and has performed for radio, film, and television, including footage for The Learning Channel and MTV. The group’s debut recording, Batterie, was released in 2007.
Morphine / Candy
This is from the record Cure for Pain, which is an old favourite of mine. The bass line is addictive. The lyrics have this romanticism that ultimately feels tragic in a Nietzchian way. Mark Sandman died just a few years ago, which was a great loss.

Like a cross between My Bloody Valentine and The Verlaines, Nashville band Paper Route write catchy, bouncy pop songs which don’t so much slide gracefully into your subconsciousness but, rather, lock themselves into it and throw away the key. Nice!
Elbow / Mirrorball
This song is a highlight off Elbows new album. It has a perfect groove the whole way through, and the melody is really pretty. I can’t help but nod my head along. I like that.
